HISTORIC 
ROSES 
The unrivaled hardiness and fragrance of 
the Roses of Antiquity insures them a place in 
every garden. Old Roses are almost foolproof, 
preferring an average soil and resenting compli- 
cated dusts and sprays. Their refreshing vari- 
ety of forms fits them for background to your 
hybrid teas or enriches your herb garden, shrub 
borders, or estate drives. Our collection of true 
Old Roses compares favorably with those of the 
most prominent specialists. Our list of Hybrid 
Perpetuals comprises over fifty varieties. We 
give dates for your convenience, as any rose de- 
veloped before 1900 qualifies as “Old-Fashioned”. 
The Older Climbers, Ramblers, and Musks are 
out of general commerce and offer carefully se- 
lected rarities to delight your taste for the un- 
usual. If you are searching for a favorite old 
rose, let us help you find it.
